Fast Casual General Manager
Houston, TX – IAH Airport | $55,000–$70,000 + Benefits
We are looking for a strong, hands-on General Manager to lead a high-volume fast casual restaurant inside George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). This is a great opportunity for an experienced restaurant leader who enjoys a fast-paced environment, developing a strong team, and being actively involved in daily operations.
What You’ll Do
- Lead all day-to-day restaurant operations
- Recruit, train, coach, and develop a strong management and hourly team
- Create a positive culture focused on accountability, teamwork, and hospitality
- Maintain high standards for food quality, cleanliness, safety, and guest service
- Work alongside the team during busy periods and be visible on the floor
- Manage scheduling and labor based on business needs
- Oversee inventory, ordering, food cost, waste, and other controllable expenses
- Understand and manage the restaurant's P&L and financial performance
- Drive sales while maintaining operational and brand standards
- Handle guest concerns professionally and create a strong customer experience
- Ensure compliance with company, airport, health, and safety requirements
- Hold the team accountable while recognizing and developing top performers
What We’re Looking For
- Previous General Manager experience in QSR, fast casual, or another high-volume restaurant environment
- Strong leadership and team-development skills
- Comfortable managing a fast-paced operation with significant daily traffic
- Financially aware with experience managing labor, food cost, inventory, and P&L
- Hands-on leadership style — this is not an office-based GM position
- Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
- Guest-focused with the ability to build a strong service culture
- Ability to work a flexible schedule based on the needs of the restaurant
- Must be able to meet all requirements necessary to work inside IAH Airport
